Sunny Heights ElementaryStaff PD: Math Task One: In preparation for our collaborative work, your first task is to watch these three videos from author Daniel H. Pink. The ideas stem from the work of his last book, Drive: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us
Video 1: RSA Animate: Drive: The surprising truth about what motivates us
Task Three:Read the following key points from Driveand consider both how they relate to your professional work as well as how they can help shape what we do with students.
1. Autonomy -self-direction in your work
We want ENGAGEMENT with the job (or with learning in the classroom), not just compliance
Ways to provide autonomy include choices in:
Task - choose the product to work on
Technique - decide how you would like to complete the task
Team - choose who you would like to work with
Time - decide how you will use time to meet your goals
2. Mastery -the desire to get better at what we do
practicing musical instruments over the weekend; why are you doing it?
running marathons? why? you’re not getting paid
think of the many things you want to achieve in your role as teacher - we all want to be better at what we do!
3. Purpose -an overarching reason for doing the work we do
what is our transcending purpose?
So today, your task is to be self-directed and collaborative in your learning. Be productive. Live your sentence. Ask, am I better today than yesterday? Seek mastery in your role. Remember our ultimate purpose. The only rule? Share your ideas and expertise and learn from your colleagues!
